This invention relates to new and useful im rovements in a windingimplement.

ne object of the inventlon is to provlde an implement of the characterdescribed whereby wire, cords and wound onto an object.

A more particular object of the invention is to provide an implementof'the character described whereby a wire may be wound splrally on ahose end to takethe place of the conventional hose clamp whereby aconnection may be securedto the end of the hose.

A further feature of the invention resides in the provision of a windingimplement of the character described equipped with means for varying thetension of the wire or cord as it is wound.

A still further feature of the invention resides in the provision ofahand' operated winding implement equipped with means for storing thewire or cord to be wound on the implement and having feeding means forthe like may be regulating the feed of the wire or cord from;

said storage means.

With the above and other objects in view the invention has particularrelation to certain novel features of construction, operation andarrangement of parts, an example of which is given in this specificationand illus trated in the accompanying drawings, wherein 1 Figure 1 showsa side elevation of the implement partly in section.

Figure 2 shows a plan view thereof.

Figure 3 shows a sectional view taken on the line 33 of Figure 1, and

Figure 4 shows an elevation of a hose end with the wire clamp thereon aswound by said implement.

Referring now more particularly to the V drawings wherein like numeralsof reference designate similar parts in each of the fi res, the numeral1 designates the handle of the implement which, at one end, is providedwith the hand grips 2, 2.5 At the other end of the handle there is anoffset thickened shank 3 and beyond said shank there is an arcuaterunner 4, said handle, shank and runner being preferably formedintegral. The handle 1 has the outstanding side arms 5, 5 disposedsubstantially parallal and spaced apart and preferably formedintegrallywith saidhandle. The outer ends-of these arms support a bearing rod as 6on'which there is a spool .7 locatedbetweenlsaid arms and rotatablymounted. The wire 8 to. be used is storedonmhis spool and isfedthrough adiagonal channel Qthrough the-shank.

Thereare the; oppositely .disposedtension screws 1O threaded through theshank and whose inner ends project into said channel and register, saidinner ends forming jaws between which the wire8 passes as it is fed tothe work. These jaws clamp the wire so that it may be fed under tensionand this tension may be regulated by adjusting said screws 10. l

V The numeral 11 designates a hose into the free end of which the shank.12 of the con- 1 nection 13 is fitted. The connection is usuallysecured to the hose by a conventional clamp which is fitted around theouter side of the hose and secured thereon by clamp bolts. Theconventional type of clamp now employed can not be made to clamp thehose uniformly all the way around andfor that reason permits a certainamount of leakage between the hose and shank 12 and furthermore theclamp bolts used are usually cumbersome and form unsightly projectionson the end of the hose.

With the implement herein described, wire may be securely wrapped abouta hose to take the place of the clamp just above described. In-applyingthe wire to the hose, the wire is drawn through the channel 9 and formedinto a loop 14 about the neck of the connection 13 and the wire strandsare then twisted together as at 15 and the free end of the wire 16 isthen longitudinally laid along the hose as shown in Figure 2. The handle1, is then revolved about the hose the concaved side of the runner 4riding against the periphery of the hose and the wire will be woundhelically about the hose and overlapping the free end 16 of the .wireand when a suflicient number of turns of the wire have been fed onto thehose, the free end 16 is twisted. about the other strand of the wireforming the twist or knot 17 and said strand is then cut off and thework is completed. l

The drawings and description disclose what is now considered to be apreferred form of the invention by way of illustration only, While thebroad principle of the invention will be defined by the appended claims.

What I claim is 1. A winding implement including a handle, a singlerunner'thereon adapted to bear against one side only of the work, ameans on the handle for storing a wrapping element, said implementhaving a feed channel for said element adjustable tension screws havingconfronting ends between which the wrapping element passes said screwsforming a tensioning device associated with said channels a 2. A Windingimplement including a handle, a runner forming a bearing member, saidimplement having a feed channel; tensioning means associated with saidchannel and comprising oppositely arranged tension screws whose innerends form jaws which frictionally engage the wrapping element, arotatable storage spool associated with the handle, and adapted for thestorage of a Wrapping element thereon.

i In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.

JOHN SERRES.
